The all-volunteer Benefits Committee of MCAI has been working overtime to increase the value of membership for working professionals. As an international organization we can negotiate serious discounts. And as a member-run non-profit we're looking for only the most useful products and services. Check out these new reasons to become a member:

Membership Benefits are broken into categories of Business Services and Production services But you'll need special member codes to take advantage.

Our newest Production Benefit (joining 18 others) is from DropDrop.com LLC. It allows you to download and customize amazing Adobe After Effects files! (After Effects Templates) These files have awesome pre-made animations.

New Business Benefits include offers from Multicast and Leightronix.
